Nba: Starting With The Eye Of The Devil

May 10, 1993.

Great Western Forum.

Sonics players are being interviewed ahead of the series.

"Lu Yu won the MVP this year. He is the best player in the regular season this season. Do you agree with this statement?"

The reporter's question is quite sharp.

He said directly to Gary Payton: "I believe everyone's evaluation, he played very well this season.

"His performance is obvious to all."

Surprisingly, Gary Payton's evaluation of Lu Yu turned out to be quite good!

When the reporter heard Gary Payton's answer, he was really surprised, and he said:

"So how do you rate him getting the DPOY award?"

Hearing the aspect of defense, Payton's eyes immediately changed.

"He's really strong defensively, but I don't think I'm weak defensively either!"

"You mean, you also have the opportunity to compete for the best defensive player?" The reporter asked.

"Someday, I will!"

Peyton's answer was very firm.

After hearing Payton's answer, the reporter continued to ask: "So, do you think you can limit Lu Yu's performance in this round of the series?"

Payton nodded confidently and said, "I will try my best to limit Lu Yu's performance!"

"I'm going to cause him some trouble!"

This season, Gary Payton averaged 13.5 points, B.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

His strength on the defensive end has already begun to emerge.

The next step is to continue to strengthen the impression of those coaches through their own performance.

The Lakers are also being interviewed here.

Lu Yu heard the reporters' questions.

"Lu, how does it feel to be the MVP?"

"Lu, as the player who won the most regular season awards this year, what do you want to say?"

"land....………

Listening to the questions from the reporters, Lu Yu immediately said:

"Everyone, everyone, I think what we need to discuss now is Ji Houhan."

"It's the playoff stage now, and the honor of the regular season has nothing to do with me."

"Let's save these things for the offseason. I will focus on the current playoffs!"

After hearing what Lu Yu said.

Lakers head coach Mike Dunleavy nodded with great satisfaction.

Lu Yu didn't get so many awards because of it.

And there is any complacency.

His performance is very stable!

This made Dunleavy very happy.

At this time, Youji all came to Jingli Weixing for an interview.

After Mike Dunleavy heard the reporter's inquiry, he immediately spoke and said:

"I've done a lot with the Lakers during the regular season..."

"It's all about the hard work of the players and the assistant coaches...."

Dun Levy, who was lamenting that Lu Yu was not complacent just now, after the interview, seemed to be a little complacent...

Seeing Dunleavy who was eloquent in the interview, the assistant coach of the Lakers was very helpless~

How about your stability??

And at this time, the same as Dunleavy's performance, he is a madman.

The madman said in front of the reporter's camera:

"The combination of me and Lu Yu is the best back line defense in the league."

"We're going to scare every guard in this league."

"I have this confidence!"

After accepting the interview, the Lakers went to warm up before the game.

Soon, the time came to 7:30.

The game starts now.

Players from both sides announced the starting lineup.

lakers.

Center, Aubert.

Power forward, Crowe.

Small forward, Worthy.

Shooting guard, madman.

Point guard, Lu Yu.

supersonic.

Center, Michael Cage. 206 cm.

Power forward, Shawn Kemp. 208 cm.

Small forward, Derrick McKay. 206 cm.

Shooting guard, Ricky Pierce. 193 cm.

Point guard, Gary Payton. 193 cm.

Before the game started, Payton looked at Lu Yu with a challenging look.

Although Lu Yu's data is almost twice that of Payton.

However, Payton's mind of challenge remains undiminished.

Payton even felt that as long as he could beat Lu Yu in this round of the series, he would be famous!

As the second overall pick in 1990, Payton's development was really not smooth.

No. 1 pick Derek Coleman, with 20 points and 11 rebounds this season, led the Nets to the playoffs.

No. 3 pick Mahmoud Lauf also has 19.3 points and 4.2 assists this season.

Dennis Scott, the fourth pick, averaged 15 points per game for the Magic.

Kendall Gill, the fifth pick, also had 17 points and 4 assists in the Hornets.

On the other hand, his second pick, 13.5 points and 5 assists, is indeed a bit poor.

Therefore, Payton urgently needs to prove himself now!

In this round of the game against the Lakers, Gary Payton must play well.

The game officially begins.

Michael Cage and Campbell for a jump ball.

With the whistle of the referee, Campbell jumped up first and got the first offensive ball for the team.

After Lu Yu received the ball, he advanced towards the frontcourt.

Gary Payton immediately took his two long arms, came to Lu Yu's side and began to defend closely.

In the Sonics, Gary Payton must seize every opportunity to show his defensive enthusiasm.

After Lu Yu was led by Gary Payton, he immediately carried Payton sideways and came to the frontcourt.

After reaching the three-point line in the frontcourt, Pei didn't defend Lu closely.

Lu Yu gave the basketball to Worthy first.

Let Worthy try to single one out.

Worthy catches the ball and hits Derek McKay

But the effect is not very good.

McKay defended the ball.

The Sonics protected the rebound.

Gary Payton immediately advanced with the ball.

"【Iron Chain Formation】!"

"Links: Lu Yu, Sprewell."

Before the game started, Lu Yu used the props of the chain array.

This prop can increase the traverse speed by 5%, and the success rate of double-teaming by +10%.

This will be a sharp weapon for Lu Yu and Madman to lock down the guards of all teams in the league!

After Payton came to the front court with the ball, he began to organize the team's offense.

First, Kemp came over and made a pick-and-roll for Payton.

Payton immediately accelerated the breakthrough through the pick-and-roll.

At this time, the madman retracted and delayed Peyton.

At the same time, Lu Yu also squeezed through the screen and double-teamed directly from behind Payton.

"Fuck! How come so fast?"

Payton suddenly felt that the double-teaming speed between Lu Yu and Madman today was even faster than when he played against the Lakers before!

Before he could react, the basketball in his hand had been stolen.

"damn it!"

Payton saw Lu Yu take the ball and push forward for a fast break, and immediately chased after Lu Yu with a dull head.

But he couldn't catch up with Lu Yu at all.

Lu Yu took the ball to the frontcourt, took off with the ball, and dunked sideways.

20.

"The Lakers opened the game with a double-team and went straight to Gary Payton.

"The Supersonics were defeated by the Lakers, the wolves and wolves!"

"Let's see how the Supersonics choose next...."

This time, after Payton came to the frontcourt, he passed the basketball to Ricky Pierce.

After receiving the ball, Ricky Pierce chose a single.

The madman's method is very simple, he puts Pierce in the direction of Lu Yu and makes a breakthrough.

Pierce chose to break through on the left.

When he broke through to the free throw line, Lu Yu's double team came up again.

"I rely on!"

Like Payton, Pierce was taken aback by Lu Yu's traversing speed.

However, before the Lakers double-teamed, he immediately passed the basketball to Payton.

After Payton received the ball, he did not choose to shoot from beyond the three-point line.

because he won't...

Payton is shooting just 20 percent from 3-point range this season.

Although he plays the point guard position, his style of play is actually similar to that of a small forward.

More is to hit the basket, and the shooting distance is generally within the range of 3 feet to 10 feet.

That is, the midpoint of the line connecting the restricted area and the free throw line, and the distance from the basket to the basket is the shooting area with a radius.

Payton chose to hit the basket with the ball.

Then give the Lakers' defense a chance to help.

Crowe came to Peyton at the first time, preventing Peyton from breaking through.

Seeing this, Payton immediately passed the basketball to Sean Kemp.

At this time, Lu Yu immediately went up to defend Sean Kemp.

Seeing that it was Lu Yu defending himself, Kemp smiled.

Immediately have the Sonics open the floor for him.

He wants to single Lu Yu!

Shawn Kemp started back-hitting, hitting Lu Yu, hitting Lu Yu behind the basket.

Camp closed the ball and turned around to make a shot.

"Snapped!"

But when Lu Yu lifted the ball on Camp, his palm appeared directly under the basketball like a ghost.

Then, Lu Yu scooped the basketball up into the sky.

The basketball immediately flew out of Kemp's grasp.

"Dude, grab the ball instead of cutting it!"

Slicing is not the same as scooping.

To catch the ball is to fish up from the bottom of the basketball.

...asking for flowers...

To cut the ball is to cut from the bottom of the basketball.

Lu Yu's matchup between the small defense and the big this time can definitely be said to be a classic!

Kemp's hands are so large that they can basically cover surfaces.

But when Kemp lifted the basketball.

The place under the basketball is absolutely beyond Kemp's control.

Then at this time, it is Lu Yuqiu's chance!

He relied on his wingspan to make up for the height gap between himself and Kemp.

Fly the basketball directly!

After the basketball in Kemp's hand was caught flying, his movements in the air were directly deformed.

He wanted to fight for the basketball again, but found that Lu Yu had already jumped up and held the basketball firmly in his hands.

After getting the ball, Lu Yu immediately advanced the fast break without any hesitation.

It's not even halfway.

"Eye of the Demon King!"

Among the many information streams, Lu Yu found an opportunity to pass the ball!

He dialed the ball with both hands and passed the ball directly to Crowe's hands.

Crowe hit the basket immediately after receiving the ball.

Sean Kemp, who is facing him, is still by Lu Yu's side, so naturally he can't interfere with Crowe.

"boom!"

Crowe took advantage of the lack of defensive communication on the Supersonic side, took the lead in jumping and dunking, and successfully scored the basketball.

460!

At this time, Lu Yu looked at Sean Kemp beside him and said:

Down

The second is to protect the basketball in your hand just like protecting your balls.

I heard Lu Yu's unabashed mocking tone.

Sean Kemp was instantly enraged.

He wanted to make some rebuttals to Lu Yu.

But now that he has not scored a point, how can he refute it?

looks?

data?

honor?

Sean Kemp's little head turned around for a long time, and he found that nothing he could compare to Lu Yu's...

If I had to say one thing, it would be height.

But there is a hammer meaning compared to height?

He just defended himself with a shorter height than himself.

Now he still rushes to mock Lu Yu's height?

Besides, Lu Yu's height has been rare among point guards for many years.

He Kemp couldn't mock at all.

"Wait! Wait for me to punch you one by one, I must taunt you severely!"

Sean Kemp stared at Lu Yu firmly.

In the mind, is such an idea.

The game continues.

Payton took the ball to the front court with a serious face, and gave the basketball to Kemp, who was about to reach the position in the low post.

After Kemp received the basketball in the low post, he began to play post-up singles

"boom!"

After a rear bump, Kemp immediately opened the distance between himself and Crowe with a jump.

Immediately afterwards, he chose a throwing shot.

Then, the basketball flew from the left side of the hoop to the right side of the hoop.

It's just a bridge!

???

After seeing Kemp's hook, George Karl on the sidelines was speechless.

How dare you hook your hand with a hammer.

Will you hook your hand??

Yep, Kemp won't hook.....

He is positioned as a violent power forward, and his style of play is to fly into the sky and escape from the ground.

He really can't learn this kind of technical hook

Kemp was embarrassed when he saw his hook and went straight across the bridge.

Made, originally wanted to pretend to be a comparison.

In the end, she pretended to be incompetent and got fucked...

At this time, the Lakers players were almost overwhelmed.

Crowe couldn't help talking trash.

"You are super high level!"

"Oh my God, is this the dominance of Shawn Kemp, the Rain-man?"

"Do you know what you rule over me?"

"You rule my laugh."

"Ahahaha, ahahaha~~"

Crowe usually learned a lot of trash talk from Lu Yu and the others.

After meeting Sean Kemp now, it is natural to laugh and laugh at him.

After all, the outside world is now starting to compare themselves with Sean Kemp.

In terms of background, Crowe is indeed inferior to Kemp.

But Crowe doesn't think he's much worse than Kemp.

Kemp's style of play is indeed violent and full of entertainment.

However, Crowe is a more team-oriented player!

The scoring average this season is not much lower than Kemp's 17.8 points!

Kemp was immediately irritated by Crowe's laughter.

"shut up!"

"Okay." Crowe shut up after hearing that, and then imitated Kemp's hooking action just now.

alright.

Now Camp is worse than Crowe when he talks....

"Damn, this kid is also good at making people mentality......

After Danny Yang saw Croby's action off the court, did he think that Croby had learned badly when he was in the Trail Blazers? .
